Just When You Thought You Were Safe...
QUIZZES!
You are John Constantine.
John has a strong knowledge of the occult and at
times he appears to wield strong magical powers
but he has also become known as something of a
con-man, more likely to talk himself out of
trouble than pull a rabbit out of a hat.
What Gritty No Nonsense Comic Book Character are You?
brought to you by Quizilla
Ah... the raging geekery of this quiz. I might need to find a copy of this.
Eb major - you are warm and kind, always there for
your friends, who are in turn there for you.
You are content with your confortable life and
what you are currently achieving; if you keep
in this state you will go far.
what key signature are you?
brought to you by Quizilla
Funnily enough, E-flat major is the preferred key of euphonium players. And also the only scale where I can play 2 octaves in under 45 seconds.
You know so much about the nightmare before
christmas. You must research and study it as
much as I do. I have loved this movie since I
was a kid and studied it very hard.
Congratulations.Please Please Please vote for
my quiz if you do i will vote for one of your
quizzes.
XxThe Best and Most Challenging Quiz of The Nightmare Before ChristmasxX
brought to you by Quizilla
Uhm... study? Not really. I just thought it was a highly entertaining flick. "But I'm just an elected official! I can't make decisions on my own!"
You are Sunrise Sunset.
You are depressed, you are bored, everything is the
same.
Put the tape in the casettedeck and let that fever
play.
What Bright Eyes Song are you?
brought to you by Quizilla
Sadly acurate some days but, heh... I don't know the song. This coming from a fairly good fan. I think I'll download it tonight with my new ADSL connection. (sparkle, sparkle)
You're great in bed, but it's a shame that no-body
will ever want to have children with you,
because you are preoccupied with salad.
Anyways... it could be worse.
What does your salad tell you about your sex-life?
brought to you by Quizilla
What... the... hell...?
You are Flora!
Which Sleeping Beauty Fairy Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla
Heh... 'A nice day of gardening and irritating your friends.'
Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. You made your
fortune leading a huge pharamaceutical ompany
which charges Americans four times as much as
the rest of the world for identical
medications. You believe the desire of African
countries to slow the AIDS epidemic by allowing
off-patent use of drugs is a plot to undermine
the
U.S. economy. You believe any world problem can be
solved with enough Marines and smart bombs.
Which member of the Bush Cabinet are you?

Greetings, Silly Carbon-Things
Meh... I missed my daily dose of Foxman this morning so Icould drive Vic to school. That would've been ok, except she made me ten minutes late. Parking spaces are hard to come by at five to nine.
Internet hooked up today. Dad's going over at lunch to install my network adaptor and then whoosh. I will be ADLS-ed and ready to go.
On a side note, my cousin Jenna thought ADSL was a sexually transmitted disease.
B
I shall now take this moment to express my undying affection for CSI. I love it so. Even when there's not much Greg. Even when Srash hits on Grissom. Even when Brass calls Warrick 'Rick. I love it, because even when all of these things happen, there is still greatness.
- Nick and Sarah seem to be flirting again
- Cathrine likes to hit on Warrick
- there was almost character angst last night
- Grissom still makes lame-funny one-liners
- Greg. Some Greg is still better than no Greg. Greg is good.
And besides, it causes C to say things like, "They had a fuzzy moment." And that's worth all the creepy-Sarah related strife in the world.
Anyway, real life...
Column-writing last night was murder. I was so tired and so tapped for ideas until about 10:00. Wrote the whole thing during (you guessed it) CSI commercial breaks.
Oddly enough, I think it turned out pretty well. Also got to finally ask Leah if she'd mind writing a referenece for me. Still have to ask if she does summer internships, but I think I'll wait until it's at least spring before I give her the option of hiring me (not that she could, since I'm not a post-secondary undergrad...)
Hm... what else? Still slacking off on uni applications. Still need to watch My Own Private Idaho. (Druggie Keanu!) Still need to e-mail Bobbi and Shannon (actually TALKED to Shannon, though. Finally.)
But there will be high-speed internet and DDr tonight, if I'm lucky. And maybe I can convince Katelynn that we all need som druggie Keanu. Mmmm...

"Flair."
music: Empty Spaces- SR-71
Yes, flair. Apparently I have some. This according to my English 30-1 teacher, who I didn't think actually liked me. Cool.
So basically, Parent-Teacher interviews went alright. Except that I sat around 45 minutes to have a 5 minute talk with Anderson. Mum did, however, make my evening by telling him that we, "Had a bad year last year." At which point Anderson gave her a look that plainly said he'd already heard that at least 3 times.
Then we went to Boston Pizza, where we sat behind this girl and a guy. And the girl would not shut up.We figure she was on a date with the guy, and yet she was telling him--in detail--about every guy she'd ever gone out with (an there were a lot). The guy looked like he wanted to slice his wrists with his butter knife.
Then she started talking about passing out in bathrooms. We know she passed out in at least three of them, and we think there may have been more. When the guy finally got a word in edgewise she started staring at the ceiling and pretty much stopped listening.
Also kudos to my mother for the evening's other best line:
A: So, do you think they'll go on a second date?
Mum: Not likely, unless he gets something else later tonight. ...I can't believe I'm talking about that with my teenage daughter.
Yup, for those needing a recap, Mum and I sat in a booth at Boston's, mocking other people.
I love my family.

School and other Such Shite
Well, it's computer lab time once again. C and I did the old homework trade (my extension for her A & I) and that leaves me with a couple minutes to eff around and type out stuff on the old blog. Whoo hoo. Feel my joy.
Oh, Katelynn, you might wanna smush your table over so the links are visible (just change the table width in your coding). Very wicked colors, m'dude.
Speaking of everyone's favourite fangirl ,C and I (well, mostly me) are thinking of kidnapping her and then videotaping a student council meeting without her. Of course, then she might chew off hr arms to try and escape and put things back on track. But we think the anarchy that would result from her disappearence would be fun, not matter whose body parts go missing.
...the one thing I can't stand about this school's network is its refusal to show pictures on Deviantart. Bah.
Gonna go take quizzes or something. Yeah.

An Evening of Things Found
Yup, like the title says. I finally got around to looking under our stove to see if the cat knocked my ring down there (it's been missing for, like, half a year now) and there it was.
And I finally got the Lionheart.
And My Life in Blue updated for the first time in three months.
Oh yeah, today has the good day makings.

Rereading my reviews for Snow Wars (no I will NOT post the link). It's funny. I hate that fic. Hate. Hate. HATE. I think it is complete and untter shit. I want it to burn and die. I'm embarrassed to have ever written it.
And it's got my 2nd highest review count. Christ...
That's the only reason that fic's still up. I can't bear to lose such amazingly funny, supportive reviews. Damn my ego.
In more interesting news, I went to C's house. We watched first season CSI eppies. Warrik took off his shirt. Greg (!!!!) danced and wore ugly-pretty shirts. Grissom hazed people. And C and I drooled like the stupid, silly fangirls we are.
German gummi bears taste like freedom.
Nick and Sarah belong together. It's the only way she isn't annoying. Mmhm.
GACKT!
Jesus, C. You make me so stupid.
They had a fuzzy moment...

The Trombone Part in 'All that Jazz' is just Sexy. Yups...
music: All that Jazz- Chicago
Just think, Katelynn, come second semester those will be OUR trombone/sax parts. Well, actually, it'll be my euphonium part. Whatever.
American Psycho is a very creepy assed little book. It makes me want to murder Ralph Lauren and hurt small, fluffy animals. But on the plus side, it reminds me that I need to moisturize. I'm so amazed that Bateman is straight. He uses far too much lotion and knows too much about hair products for a striaght man. I'm starting to feel inadequate.
Going to C's in an hour and a bit... ooooh.

Does Anyone Else find the Idea of a 'Meat Lovers' Breakfast Really, Really Disgusting?
music: Bohemian Like You- Dandy Warhols
Ok, Andrea. You are stupid and paranoid. Just because your friend signs off the second you come online with a stupid Yugi-oh (shudder) in-joke in your name, does not mean anything is wrong. It does not mean that anyone is disgusted with you. It may, however, mean that you and Katelynn are a pair of dorks.
Right.
Clay Aiken sounds like a stalker in 'Invisible.' Don't beileve me? Go look at the lyrics. This song isn't cute! It's evil! ...and yet, it has... power...
Damn it.
Anyway, saw Better Luck Tomorrow this afternoon, and Reloaded last night. Which means it's mini-review time:
Better is one heavy piece of work. It's alternately funny as hell and stomach twistingly horrible. And I've never seen a movie make better use of dictionary defenitions. (ie: On the main character, Ben-- punctilious adj making much of the conventions of etiquette, very exact, conforming)
It also makes me glad that the smart people at Hat High (Katelynn excluded) generally don't give a shit about having 1702 extra-curricular activities for their college applications. Apathy so rocks.
verdict: Rent it if you're in the mood for a kick to the stomach and a realization that being an 80% or under student isn't all that bad.
Revolutions... ah, good old Matrix conclusions. I couldn't pick two more opposite movies to see in one weekend. Where B.L.Tomorrow is hard and painful, The Matirx is comforting and reassuring. I went into the theatre pretty sure that Neo would somehow save everyone, and a lot of people would die. And I wasn't dissapionted. No, I don't consider that a spoiler. You all knew it was coming.
Sure The Matrix is good stuff. In the world of action, plot is always such an afterthought. And while the plot in Revolutions sometimes isn't as important as the action, it's still much more important than it is in any 'Ah-nold' piece of shite.
You can so tell the movie was made by geeks, though. Magitek armour, children of light and darkness (I don't care, in my mind it's a David Eddings reference) and all those great anime/sci fi comforts. It's suspensful as all hell and it gets the adrenaline flowing, but really, we all knew what was coming. It's the journey that really counts in these movies, not the end.
And damn if the journey wasn't fun.
veridct: Oh, you'll see it. And besides, it has the distinction of being ::one of the few movies out there where the funny black man DOESN'T die!::
And Jada Pinkett Smith is fucking hot. Oh yes.
Oh, and a girl from Carleton called me today, to talk about the program. Holy shit does that school rock at sales. And the actual course sounds pretty great, too. Apparently landing my column at the News was the best thing I ever did, career-wise.
ADSL on Thursday...
Still need Bahamut and Doomtrain in VIII. And, yeah, Eden too. Whoo. Anything to avoid having to save Rinoa.
The funny thing? I'm 2 pulse ammos away from having the Lionheart. And I'll never get them, just watch... T_T
Mum's watching the Elizabeth Smart Story. It looks highly stupid and highly melodramatic all at once. Sigh.
Gonna go play some more FF 8. Or write. Or something.
Man I'm bored.

You'd use Squall's Renzokuken, or Irvine's Shot.
Hell, they're pretty much the same, the point

Well, shatter-bones, you seem like a joker. Playing

The beginning of the film...
"People once believe that when someone died, a
crow brought that soul to the land of the dead.
But sometimes, something so bad happens that a
terrible sadness is carried with it, and the
soul can't rest. Sometimes, just sometimes, a
crow can bring that soul back to put the wrong
things right."
"If a building gets torched, all that is left
is ashes. I used to think that about
everything: family, friends, feelings. But now
I know. If two people love each other, nothing
can keep them apart."

So the whole thing's on CD and will now begin making its rounds to all the people who have exressed a desire to finally read all of the damn thing. At this point only C and I have actually read the ending.
Oh, and Katelynn? You were right. It is a cute picture. ...damn you.

So Halloween's over. The costume went off pretty damn well (I have pictures! Will post after they're developed) as did Katelynn's, C's and Daniel's. Even though the skirt he wore made it very obvious that he has no ass whatsoever.
I've gotta say that I love Halloween. It actually is my favourite holiday. It's the only day of the year where you can dress up in costumes, watch crap horror movies and eat candy and actually have an excuse.
Besides, Lisa, K, C, and DanSquared came over and watched The Crow 2, played DDR and threw our pumpkin off a cliff. And in keeping with the yearly tradition we watched RHPS. Someday K may actually see the whole thing...
And finally? Down in the US it is Protection From Pornography Week. Which means that we Canadians must do our national duty. Go out and buy a copy of Penthouse. I dare ya.

School starts again today. No more snow days, even though it's just as vile today. ~shrugs~ I suppose they'd be more willing to give us extra time off if marks weren't due tomorrow.
This was running through my head while I was brushing my teeth, so I shall now inflict it on you:
The Difference Between Huitzilpoctli and Halloween:
On Halloween you may eat candy hearts.
Huitzilpoctli, however, may eat your heart like candy.

Neither of us are sure what word she actually meant to say. I then nearly tipped my drink over, which I claimed was simply me ‘trying to make it do a wheelie.' Then Dad and I tried to get it to speak and play dead. It was a very stupid supper out.
And I really, really don't want to go to school tomorrow, even if I only have a day and a half to the weekend/Halloween.
Oh BTW, C, I think I've found us a pretentious indie-fuck theme song. It's called Sheep do the Heaven (Goats go to Hell). And it's by Cake. Destiny I tell you! Destiny and Spelling!

School's been cancelled today, apparently. Possibly because of the METRE HIGH DRIFTS OF FEKKIN' SNOW outside my window. So I get to hang out because I'm too awake to go back to bed. Wonder if I should study for that math quiz I was supposedto have today? Because it would be just my luck for school to suddenly start at 1:00--just in time for Hider's class.
And you know that Cake cover of I Will Survive that I'm listening to? They say 'I should have changed that fucking lock.' Unusual swearing makes me happy.

My blog is prettier than it was before. Still no links though. But I'll live. Even if C won't.
If you're wondering why the picture seems to float out in outer space a little, it's because it's in the perfect position for my slightly wonky minimized screen and I didn't notice until C pointed it out to me. And now I don't care. ^_^
I'm hoping this will actually get me to draw some EGC. Sooner or later.
